I had exactly the same error. I solved it by reinstall gnome-keyring since the autostart applications where somehow messed up.

dpkg --force-all -P gnome-keyring
aptitude install gnome-keyring

So I got my startup file /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-keyring-ssh.desktop back and gnome-session-properties showed gnome-keyring-ssh in the list again.

What I did before was to manually add the gnome-keyring-ssh with "/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --components=ssh" as exec command with use of gnome-session-properties. This command seemed to work well since I saw that gnome-keyring-daemon --start reported SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/keyring-IzvzoK/ssh.
I have no idea why that didn't work and reinstalling gnome-keyring with the missing autostart scripts worked. I guess I must have missed some extra Options like "X-GNOME-Autostart-Phase=Initialization", hence the ssh-agent was registered to the system too late within the startup progress. And i don't know why the files were missing in first place either.
